Comedian and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has declared today to be National Unfriend Day. It's a time to go through your list of friends on Facebook and delete people who aren't really your friends:

Kimmel used his show on November 11 to declare today National UnFriend Day [NUD] -- a new holiday he hopes will inspire Facebook users to unfriend their social-networking contacts that aren't real friends.
"NUD is the international day when all Facebook users shall protect the sacred nature of friendship by cutting out any 'friend fat' on their pages occupied by people who are not truly their friends," the show's website states.

Oh, I don't need a nationally declared day for this. I do it every couple of months all on my own! It's very cathartic!
